Chapter 140: Opportunity
As Aeryon walked through the settlement, he was met with a mix of greetings and respectful gestures.
His clans and the people of the Brolgadhr tribe were among those who greeted him warmly.
The Brolgadhr tribe, though it had grown in size since he became chief, still had that close-knit feeling from its earlier days.
Despite the expansion, his relationship with the original members of the Brolgadhr tribe remained unchanged, because of the bonds he had forged over the years.
Most of the commander of the warriors come from the members of his clan and his tribe.
Of course, Aeryon knows this could not continue.
If he continues only favouring the people of his tribe and did not relegate some of the important tasks to some other tribes that he had conquered, there will be problems in unity
He wanted to follow Genghis Khan example of promoting people based on merit
Genghis Khan might be the most terrifying conqueror that has ever lived in his time but he is also of the people that is ahead of his time
The feudal system that existed throughout Asia before Genghis Khan’s time primarily rewarded aristocratic privilege and birth.
But yet, despite being the son of a chief, Genghis himself despised this system, and as he swept across the continent he implemented a new one that rewarded loyalty and individual achievement on the battlefield.
